Religion

There is no scholarly consensus over what precisely constitutes a religion. It may be defined as a cultural system of designated behaviors and practices, world views, texts, sanctified places, prophesies, ethics, or organizations, that claims to relate humanity to supernatural, transcendental, or spiritual elements.

Religion

The writers against religion, whilst they oppose every system, are wisely careful never to set up any of their own.

Edmund Burke, A Vindication of Natural Society (1756) Preface. Vol. I. p. 7.

Religion

What we have here is a war--the war of matter and spirit... The war of banks and religion. Banks are the temples of America. This is a holy war. Our economy is our religion.

Giannina Braschi on the war against terrorism as discussed in "United States of Banana" and in New York 1 TV [2]

Religion

If our so-called facts are changing shadows, they are shadows cast by the light of constant truth. So too in religion we are repelled by that confident theological doctrine... but we need not turn aside from the measure of light that comes into our experience showing us a Way through the unseen world.

Arthur Eddington, Science and the Unseen World (1929)
